Description

Roco 7500117 H0 Train Set with Electric Locomotive 1756 and Strukton Rail Container Car: Innovative hybrid model of Era VI

The Roco 7500117 H0 train set combines the electric locomotive 1756 "Charlotte" from Strukton Rail with a container wagon. With innovative technology, detailed design and a 20′ container that serves as an approximate battery car, this set is a highlight for modern model railroad layouts of Era VI.

The prototype: Hybrid locomotive 1756 "Charlotte"

The hybrid locomotive 1756 from Strukton Rail is a standardized electric locomotive with an integrated battery pack. This enables operation both with overhead line drive and in battery mode. While it runs at full speed on electrified lines, it can be used in battery mode on non-electrified sections ("last mile"). The battery is automatically charged when the locomotive is running on electrified tracks.

The locomotive also has air conditioning and a signal horn box, making it ideal for use in modern rail traffic.

Era VI: Progress and hybrid technology

Era VI (from 2007) is characterized by innovative technologies and environmentally friendly solutions. Hybrid locomotives such as the 1756 "Charlotte" demonstrate how sustainability and efficiency can be combined in rail transport.

Color scheme and design

The 1756 electric locomotive and the accompanying container wagon are designed in the colors of Strukton Rail. The 20′ container is designed as an approximate battery wagon, which underlines the modern functionality of this train set. With many separately attached plug-in parts, some using etching technology, and an innovative pantograph, the locomotive is a real gem.

Recommended purchase for model railroaders

The Roco 7500117 H0 train set with the hybrid locomotive 1756 "Charlotte" and container wagon is perfect for model railroaders who want to represent modern technology and realistic train formations on their layout. It offers both visual and technical fascination for demanding collectors and operators.
